Its a good Application, flexible, leverages NAV capabilities. East to use , easy to deploy.

Reviewed on 30/3/2018

Pros

It is adaptive, flexible architecture. Easy to develop customisations and deployment. simplicity of Pos Features. Integrated application to Inventory and Finance. Discounts , Promotions, Loyalty module. Multiple templates in demo data.

Cons

POS Configuration such as panels & design is quite complicated for users to grasp. Also it is not easy for customers to absorb.
Replenishment setups needs lots of visualisation, setups take time, data maintenance is complicated. Lack of tools such as label printing configurator, OPOS Receipt configurator.
Promotions have performance issues for large retailers. Product maintenance is time consuming. Mass update of products is unavailable. Special orders are quite complicated and need to be simplified. Loyalty needs more profiling . Vouchers and Gift cards needs more details, using web services is not consistent due to traffic in Transaction server work table bottleneck.
Staff management need to simplified for users usage. LS Hospitality KDS has lots of issues still not addressed for years.
Licensing is expensive compare to other competitive products in the market which is most important and losing against the competitive products with lots of easy maintenance features.

Pros

Good for retail industries. Has most of the options required to run an operation.

Cons

The licence is an over kill. The features are all over the place. It look clear that it sits on another application. Some of basic functionality like a stock report is not available. Some of the functionalities are incomplete. There a quite a few bugs which results in waiting for the next patch.

For businesses who need to manage stores in different location and have data replicated centrally to the head office for financial management, LS Retail is a good choice.

Some modules for LS Retail still have bugs, it requires partners who have development team to help to fix during implementation because of the limited resource of LS Retail internal development team.

Pros

The functionality LS Retail provide covers all the aspects of retail businesses.

Cons

Complicated. For some retail business, LS Retail will be super complicated. Other software like ChargeLogic Retail can be considered.
